Today's TMJ4 What's Hot Thurs. Feb. 26

In case you missed it, I appear weekly on Today's TMJ4 3 p.m. newscast in the 'What's Hot' segment. We discuss local and national hot topics ala 'The View.'

I was joined on Thursday, February 26th by anchors Courtny Gerrish, Shelley Walcott and WTMJ Radios' jeff Wagner.

Our topics:
1) Obamas pick their dog?
2) Park High School imposes dress code for secretaries and clerks

Obamas pick their dog
It's rumored that the White House dog of choice is a Portugese water dog.
Cute.
Rest assured. A couple of things will happen once the dog finally arrives, countless cute photos of cute girls frolicking on the White House lawn with their new dog. A rush to buy the water dog by everyone who ever thought they wanted a dog...and maybe they just couldn't make up their minds! Now, it's easy. Just follow the Obamas lead. Bring on the cute photos.

Park High School secretaries get a dress code
Me thinks that someone took leave of their common sense, thus prompting the school principal to lay down the law. Then the union steps in and cries foul. Well, the truth of the matter is secretaries are part of school administration and therefore, are authority figures. The last thing a high school student or city of Racine taxpayer is a visit to the school to take care of business and a too tight sweater, skin tight jeans and flip flops serve as a distraction. This reeks of disrespect for their school and position. Isn't that the No. 1 item we want to teach high school students-to respect authority?
I think the school principal got it right. Dress professionally--that's what the position calls for. Save your flip flops for the beach.

Watch me next week on Today's TMJ4-- in the 3 p.m. hour--usually airing around 3:35 or 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, March 5th.
